You are almost four years out of date here. R version 2.6.0 was released this past week. I would strongly urge you to remove your old R installation completely and install R from scratch, along with new versions of all the packages you require. Once you have done that, re-install the fields package. There is almost certainly a conflict between the latest version of fields and your old version of R. If there is a still a problem, post back and/or contact the package maintainer.
